The Nietzschean story, which forced a weatherman and the audience to relive the same day in Punxsutawney, Pa., over and over, was challenging and a little disorienting. The script was alternating layers of Murray’s dark, mean-spirited mugging and the ache of existential emptiness. As Murray’s character, weatherman Phil Connors, says to a drunk on the next bar stool: “What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?” Drunk: "That about sums it up for me."

This was Bill Murray making it even more clear that he would not be the man we expected him to be anymore, setting the stage for “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “Lost in Translation” and “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.” Two decades later, “Groundhog Day” is not lacking in bloggy appreciation and debate over its philosophical and religious undercurrents.

But “Groundhog Day” was also a love story, with a radiant Andie MacDowell playing Murray’s elusive TV producer, and it was filled with witty writing and hilarious physical comedy. So it can be enjoyed strictly for that thing we seek in many movies: It’s just fun. Maybe you’ll find this quiz fun, but you only have to do it once.
